What is a C.Ped.

Also referred to as a C.Ped.,
this is a specialist in the proper use of footwear. Typically this
includes shoes, shoe modifications, foot orthoses and other pedorthic
devices to solve problems in, or related to the foot and lower limb.

A Board Certified C.Ped.
will select and modify footwear (or make it when necessary) for you.
These adjustments can be made inside or outside the shoe. This footwear
will help you maintain or regain as much mobility as possible.

We
have all experienced improperly fitted footwear. This can cause those
aches and pains many of us are so familiar with. Everything which
surrounds your foot, be it an orthotic, your shoes, sandals, slippers,
socks, bandages, braces, partial-foot prosthetic or any other device,
affects your ability to walk in comfort.

All these
external factors paly an integral role in the condition of your feet.
This makes footwear a crucial part of your recommended treatment plan.

Above all, a good Pedorthist will follow-up with a customer to ensure their footwear is functioning properly.
